Decoding Angiotensin Receptors: TOMAHAQ‐Based Detection and Quantification of Angiotensin Type‐1 and Type‐2 Receptors

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background The renin‐angiotensin system plays a crucial role in human physiology, and its main hormone, angiotensin, activates 2 G‐protein–coupled receptors, the angiotensin type‐1 and type‐2 receptors, in almost every organ.

Evolution of Angiotensin Peptides and Peptidomimetics as Angiotensin II Receptor Type 2 (AT2) Receptor Agonists [PDF]

Biomolecules, 2020
Angiotensin II receptor type 1 and 2 (AT1R and AT2R) are two G-protein coupled receptors that mediate most biological functions of the octapeptide Angiotensin II (Ang II).

Imidazole-Based AT₁ Receptor Ligands: Design, Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation [PDF]

Molecules
The angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor is a key component of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and a validated target for cardiovascular and renal disorders. Developing small molecules with defined AT1 versus AT2 binding profiles remains important for

Novel Pharmacology Following Heteromerization of the Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor and the Bradykinin Type 2 Receptor

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptor and the bradykinin type 2 (B2) receptor are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have major roles in the cardiovascular system. The two receptors are known to functionally interact at various levels, and there is

The angiotensin II type 2 receptor in the brain [PDF]

Journal of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System, 2009
Recent clinical studies indicate that blockade of the renin-angiotensin system is important to prevent stroke, and accumulating results of basic research also indicate the possible involvement of the central renin-angiotensin system in ischaemic brain damage and cognition.

Angiotensin Type 2 Receptors: Painful, or Not? [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020
Pain in response to various types of acute injury can be a protective stimulus to prevent the organism from using the injured part and allow tissue repair and healing. On the other hand, neuropathic pain, defined as ‘pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system’, is a debilitating pathology.

Does activation of the protective Renin-Angiotensin System have therapeutic potential in COVID-19?

Molecular Medicine, 2020
Infection of lung cells by the corona virus results in a loss of the balance between, on the one hand, angiotensin II-mediated stimulation of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor and, on the other hand, stimulation of the angiotensin II type 2 receptor and/

The effect of aerobic exercise on the function of the local renin-angiotensin system and gluconeogenesis pathway in the liver tissue of type 2 diabetic rats [PDF]

مجله علوم پزشکی فیض (پیوسته), 2023
Background and Aim: One of the important and effective physiological systems in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes is the local renin-angiotensin system. The aim of the current study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the function of the

Angiotensin Type 2 Receptor-Mediated Hypotension in Angiotensin Type-1 Receptor-Blocked Rats [PDF]

Hypertension, 2001
The type-2 (AT 2 ) angiotensin (Ang) II receptor has been characterized as potentially counterregulatory to the actions of Ang II at its type-1 (AT 1 ) receptor. We investigated the effects of Ang II and CGP-42112A (CGP), a selective peptide AT

Angiotensin Type 2 Receptor [PDF]

Hypertension, 2015
See related article, pp 396–402 The biological function of the angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) has been difficult to identify, with its role to a large extent masked by the predominate actions of angiotensin II (AngII) at the AT1R.1 However, it is now recognized that the AT2R opposes the actions of the AT1R in the cardiovascular system.
